Oh dear ... dear Jerry. A favorite WHS friend who I will always remember and cherish for his thoughtfulness, his wonderfully mischievous sense of humor and his great story-telling talents. His laughter was infectious and he was always so full of life and adventure. I feel blessed to have known him.
To Carol and your special family, I am so sorry he is gone but know that his love and laughter will be with you forever. With love and warmest thoughts, xx Meg

Dear Carol, Debbie, Brad and Bill. I am very saddened by Jerry's passing. I knew Jerry at C21 Taylor & Love where we worked together for many years. We became good friends and I will miss him dearly. He was one of a kind. I am deeply sorry for your loss. Find comfort in knowing that you, his family, were the most important things in his life. I will treasure his memory. Fair winds and following seas, my friend.
RIP. Carmen

Dear Carol Debbie Brad and Billy. Jerry and I worked together for almost 30 years. We were competitors but always friends. At work we encouraged him to learn to use the computer to get "tech savvy". Not a chance! Get a cell phone no way. Be politically correct. Not possible. He was a 50's boy through and through. He did it his way! I wouldn't have changed him for a minute.
Love you J B. Rest in peace.
Janet
